In Qualcomm, we are a community itself. We have our own
buy-sell classified and chats, on where to get the best deal
to get a tooth extracted, where to meet people, the best
restaurants in San Diego, places to hang out, etc.

Today, someone send out an email, my friend would like to
learn how to drive or something. It struck me. I love to teach
people how to drive. Back in Tucson, I taught a few students
how to drive and that includes my 2nd and 3rd room-mate.
No kidding!!

I like to teach people how to drive. Why? I guess a lot
of people don't really know how to drive. It seems to
me like many people are not sentitive enough about
their surroundings when they drive.

I have been driving since I was 17. I learned to drive
in Malaysia. My dad took me out with his car, a
1971 Fiat 600, for a spin. It will be on Sundays and I
would drive for 2 hrs every week. I did that for 2months.

It is a small car and under-powered. He will ask me to
drive on winding roads like the CA highway-1 and in the
city. Moreover, it is a stick gear. Of course, the car always
halt in the middle of the road and that happens often.

I took the written test and the on-the-road test and I
passed. My dad was happy; now that it was time for me
to drive him and my mum around. That was a trick on
why he wanted to teach me how to drive. Errr.....

I have been driving in SF Bay Area, Sacramento Metro,
Reno/Lake Tahoe, LA Metro, New Orleans to Atlanta,
Phoenix to Yellowstone NP, Sacramento to Vancouver,
AZ and San Diego Metro. Fast is COOL with safety.

I guess I have the patience to teach and in addition, I
want my students to be a courtesy driver like myself.
Ahem.

Bundesautobahn.......the official name for the highway
in Germany. Well, there are no speed limits in general
except in conditional limits. WOW!!

Of course, Germans in general drives
Audi(Vorsprung durch Technik), Volkswagen,
BMW(Bayerische Motoren Werke AG),
Mercedes-Benz, etc and ....they should slam the gaas.
